Eavestrough and gutter work covers new installation, repair, and full replacement of the channels and downspouts that carry roof runoff away from your foundation. In Toronto's mix of century homes and postwar bungalows, that means matching the right material and profile to an older fascia board, tying new downspouts into existing weeping tile or splash pads, and getting the slope right so water actually moves toward the outlets instead of pooling. We list 39 businesses in this category, ranging from small crews that focus only on eaves to full roofing companies that bundle gutters with a re-roof.
What the job actually involves
Most Toronto homes run 5-inch or 6-inch aluminum eavestrough in a K-style profile, seamless-formed on site from a coil to avoid the leaky joints you get with sectional pieces. Some older or higher-end properties use half-round profiles or copper. A proper job includes fascia inspection (rotten wood needs replacing before new eaves go up), correct pitch toward the downspouts, hangers spaced closely enough to handle snow and ice load, and gutter guards or leaf screens if the property has overhanging trees. Downspout placement matters as much as the trough itself: they need to discharge away from the foundation, not dump straight onto a walkway or into a window well.
What to check before you hire
Ask whether the price includes fascia repair, whether the eaves will be seamless or sectional, and what gauge of aluminum is being used (thicker holds up better against ladders, ice, and squirrels). Get a clear answer on warranty terms for both material and workmanship, and confirm the crew carries liability insurance, since this work involves ladders and roof edges on every job. Local reviews are worth reading for how a company handles slope and downspout placement, not just how fast they showed up.
How our scoring works
